Cuisinart Custom Select 2-Slice Toaster #CPT-620

If white toast bores you, the brushed stainless steel Cuisinart Custom Select 2-Slice Toaster is for you. In addition to a bagel mode, it has ones for waffles, pastry, and English muffins. The settings are particularly easy to read and therefore select.

How We Tested: The Kitchen Appliances & Technology Lab evaluated twenty 2-slice pop-up toasters. They were tested for evenness of browning white bread, speed of toasting, ability to produce arrange of shades from light to dark, and how consistently they brown consecutive batches of bread. Additionally, the helpfulness of the owner's manual, the ease of the controls and of controlling the carriage, the ability of the slots to accommodate fat bagels and oversized bread slices, the ability to pop up toast and English muffins high enough to be easily grabbed without burning fingertips, the presence of helpful features, the surface temperatures of the toaster parts, and the cleanability were assessed.
